There's more than just trademark. I used to work with some attorneys formerly at the US International Trade Commission. From what they told me, most goods that they had seized at the border were caught in "design patent" cases. It was interesting to me how prominent that area of law was in practice, given that we never covered it in my IP classes.

I was also surprised that was a big thing initially, especially when you know where a lot of designs were inspired from. :) https://www.fastcompany.com/3016910/apples-inspiration-for-the-ipod-bang-olufsen-not-dieter-rams https://www.fastcompany.com/3016910/apples-inspiration-for-t... https://www.cnet.com/news/time-is-money-apple-pays-21m-for-clock-design-says-report/ https://www.cnet.com/news/time-is-money-apple-pays-21m-for-c...
